Yes, I know they can have lots of meeting with MAG, but as long as no bombs or bottles of water get through security screening how is the CAA able to intervene ? I'm assuming the CAA is not going to go nuclear and strip MAG of its licence to run an airport
I'm not sure the CAA would have so much interest in how MAG are carrying out the screening, rather if they are failing to meet the maximum queuing time limits then presumably the CAA has the ability to impose fines which, I guess we assume, are intended to encourage the airport operator to invest in additional equipment and/or labour to be able to meet the queuing time limits
